Final thoughts...
Where do I even start? How do I define a trip - a moment in a lifetime - where my little girl is still my little girl... Yet she is on the edge of experiencing life on her own. How do I put that into words?
We started planning these graduation trips several years ago... Back then - I am not sure any of us ever thought they would happen... It was a dream and so far away...
Before I knew it - it was time to either fish or cut bait... And we decided to fish...
Planning is a lot of the trip excitement for us, and this trip was no different. Although - it was hard to be too excited at home - we tried to reign it in a little bit, as we didn't want V to feel left out...
These last few moments with Allison have been some of the best yet. She is growing up and beginning to make her life plans... I am so excited for her and what the future holds. To have this time with her - and capture these last memories - well, I just recommend it to everyone. These memories were built over a life time... Our relationship didn't just happen...
It was us, holding her as a baby...
Spending time with her...
Letting her grow to be confident of the person she is....
Loving her for all that she is... And all that she wants to be...
Giving her the freedom to be a child...
To express herself with out judgement or ridicule...
Giving her people in her life who love her unconditionally...
The end result, is a girl I am super proud of. She has the confidence to be herself, to stand up for what she believes in, to know that her family will always stand behind her, she is someone we can depend on and have fun with. She is absolutely everything in my life that I wish I could be. I look up to her, and I believe in her.
For me, to take her to Disney - and to just be with her, was one of the best and most joyful experiences of my life... All of the moments - and all of the little things, have added up to these memories... I cannot wait to see what her life holds for her and what her future brings.
Thank you for following us on this journey... I love sharing our trips here and I love that so many people enjoy reading about them.
I hope that you will continue to follow my PTR (in my siggy) - and watch for my upcoming graduation trip report when I take Victoria on her trip in October.
Much love to you all!
